I've known someone through a shared activity for around a year. I've never really met her husband before as he works away a lot. I was helping her take something to her house and she invited me in as it started to rain heavily.
Her husband rolled his eyes as he saw me. He was at the kitchen table on his computer. I've never met him before. He kept sighing loudly when I was talking and rolling his eyes. My friend offered me some coffee and I said no thanks as I don't really like coffee and her husband shouted: 'WELL I DO!!' and glared at me. He eventually disappeared.
I obviously felt uncomfortable and wanted to leave but it was pouring so I had to wait for the rain to ease up as I was walking home.
When I got back, my friend sent me a text thanking me for my help and support and saying that I no longer needed to look after their dogs. She'd asked me to stay at their place and look after the dogs while she was away which I had agreed to. I said ok.
About a week later I sent her a text, asking if she was still coming to an event I had booked tickets for. She said yes and we just carried on from there.
A month or so later, she invited me to an event, related to our shared activity and I went. Her husband turned up and ignored me. I saw that my friend felt uncomfortable so I said hello to him and tried to keep things light. Later I sat next to him and we got talking. I was really trying to make the effort to move past what had happened.
The next time I saw her she said, 'You seemed to get getting along very well with my husband the other night.' Insinuating that I was doing something wrong like flirting with him. I was really shocked as I had done no such thing. I was just trying to be friendly, she was there at the time as we were all sitting around a table.
I don't know what to do here.
